I would recommend a Wood Wonders case. http://www.wood-wond...om/Eyepiece.htm Ron will work with you to build what you want and the case works great! I ordered a case to house all the Ethos line of EPs in the middle and had him put in a 1 1/4 inch plate under one of the drawers for all my 1 1/4 EPs. The red light is a set of LEDs across the top that works very well. Give him a call or email him! Great work and great customer service!

Pelican cases or knockoffs. Sometimes to be had very reasonably on craigslist and ebay. With the foambymail.com pick-n-pluck insert, you can customize and get a lot of goods inside a Pelican 1600, which is what I use.

I just have too much stuff for small cases. I use Pelican #1600 cases for most of my stuff. I have them organized for public outreach use. Here is one set up for use with 3 scope/mount combinations. I set up 5 or 6 scopes at a time and it takes 2 cases to outfit them.

I recommend splitting into two; one for eyepieces/items that need protection, and one (more of a soft-side/leather toolbag concept) for things like AC adapters, cables, allen wrenches, etc. That way you can maximize the use you can get out of whatever foam padded hard case you end up with for your delicate items, without carrying around bulk or weight you don't need.

I got fed up with lugging multiple cases around so optimise dmy gear down to what I REALLY need and then built a single case that would hold everything. Eyepieces, finder, cables, controllers - the whole schtick - even a collimator and some tools.

Whole thing was made out of a junk photographic case and some basswood - course it took a lot of time (as some will recall from seeing the thread on here) but its worked a treat. A single case with everything in it apart from the battery box. Makes packing up a doddle and its a comfort knowing that if it aint in the case I dont own it so nmothing gets forgotten/left behind.

Well, there's always buying a scope for each of the eyepieces to house them........

I like the Pelican Storm cases. The Woodwonders are beautiful cases and well made....but if you're older, or not in good health, wood gets heavy pretty quickly.

I'd second the reasoning stated above. If you want a case that looks real purty on a shelf in your living room, get the Wood Wonders. If OTOH you want a case that's built to protect your stuff from a potential lickin' from being jostled around or even dropped or dampened in transit *and* is easy to hand-carry, get a Storm/Pelican type case. If (on the third hand) you want a cheap case that will offer fairly good, but not completely idiot-proof or accident-proof protection, get one of those inexpensive aluminum cases often sold at e.g. Lowe's or Harbor Freight.

As a general rule, if you have less expensive EPs, accessories, etc, you could prudently opt for the third alternative if you wish (less expensive aluminum case). BUT: if you have more premium EPs and accessories...well, Ben Franklin's advice about "penny wise, pound foolish" comes to mind (get the Storm/Pelican type case).

As far as internal protection/organization, there's basically three alternatives:1) pluck foam (you hand-carve out custom slots that snugly fit each of your items;2) padded dividers (makes for neater organization, but doesn't give quite as snug a fit and allows more possibilities for stuff to jostle around inside);3) slots cut in wood (e.g. round for eyepieces, dividers for other stuff)...looks real neat, but this is best suited for the type of case you plan to never accidentally drop or spill (which you never plan to do, **it just happens sooner or later if you catch my drift).

Apart from Pelican cases and other similar types, are cases from Wooden wonder, etc good enough to store the eyepieces long term without being affected by the dreaded fungus?

That said, I dun own an EP case since my collection quickly outgrown the small Meade case I had. Most of the time I just lump them into a compact lot in the corner of my long Pelican together with my scope.

I like different cases for some of my stuff. To segregate things a bit, into smaller packages.
I choose second hand store, garage sales, and such for where to look.
Lots of very inexpensive options are available, for pretty painlessly up grading too.
